I'm on
Big Sur 11.2.2
, Single User Mode. When I use /sbin/mount -uw /
, it says mount_apfs: volume could not be mounted: Permission denied
and failed with 66.
I have read [this post](https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/388469/unable-to-mount-read-write-in-os-catalina-10-15-4-in-single-user-mode) . But mount -uw /System/Volumes/Data
gives mount: unknown special file or file system /System/Volumes/Data/.
Also, csrutil enable --without fs
in recovery mode changes nothing. Errors still occurs. (Previous tries are based on SIP entirely disabled.)
The commands mount -P 1; /usr/libexec/init_data_protection; mount -P 2
in the prompt during startup works. However, I don't know what it's mounting.
PS: current SIP status:
Configuration:
Apple Internal: disabled
Kext Signing: enabled
Filesystem Protections: disabled
Debugging Restrictions: enabled
DTrace Restrictions: enabled
NVRAM Protections: enabled
BaseSystem Verification: enabled
This is an unsupported configuration, likely to break in the future and leave your machine in an unknown state.
